Street use only? Track use included? You need to determine what kind of driving you'll be doing and what climate you live in. http://www.tirerack.com is your friend.

dunlop s03 is one of the best tires out there but pricey.
if you're on a budget look into yokohama avs e100, falken azenis, kumho ecsta 712.

i didn't know dunlop made an s03. I think you mean bridgestone potenza s03.
But for the question if you can use the 205/50/15 without any problems, yes you can. The only insignificant difference is the speedo will be off very slightly due to the slight change in diameter of the tire.

Best performance for the money? Kuhmo's supra ecsta 712's...at tirerack.com are like 63$ a tire you cant beat that...and they are pretty good tires....and yes for sure you can upgrade to 205/50/15....i did it in my R, worked out nicely...a lil chunkier tires...

With running a 205/50/15, the speedo might be off a little bit. But, the problem I had was that the tires started to cup with only 1/3 life used. And this made any driving above 30-35 mph much more noise. Just something to be aware of.

Below is a pic, though not a great one, of my integra with 205/50/15 Dunlop SP5000's. I actually like the way the 205/50 looks as compared to the 195/55 (not that there is a BIG difference!). Anyway, here's the pic...

Re: best performance tire on stock 15's (fubar)
I have the Falken 205/50/15 ZE110's or something like that. I've had them for over a year and they still have plenty of tread. They grip great, even in wet conditions. I got these after haveing Nitto 450's, and let me tell you, the Nitto's suck wanger. Hydroplaned all the time. My dad even has Nitto 555's on his Cobra, and those damn things will break loose just turning onto a street. Also after a year I had to replace my Nitto's cause they were almost completely bald.
The best part about the Falkens? They were like $55 ea. at Discount Tire. It was ~$300 for all four installed.

I'd run the Azenis but I gotta have that wet traction. I just cannot afford not to have little or no traction in the rain.
